The Insurance Families Network is a volunteer led network consisting of members from across the London Insurance Market. We have one overall aim: to make the insurance industry as family friendly as possible enabling all working parents and careers to reach their full career potential whilst still being an active parent or carer. We promote the adoption of family friendly inclusive policies and the acceptance of the "Modern Family" - one that comes in all shapes, sizes and combinations. We are proud to be an Inclusion@Lloyd's partner network and of our close working relationship with LINK - the Insurance industry's LGBT+ network.

Today is the The International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women and the start of the 16 Days of Activism. Today we recognise those who have endured domestic abuse, those who have lost their lives, and those who have rebuilt their lives after abuse. EIDA’s Ambassadors, all survivors of domestic abuse, are the heart of our work. They inspire us to push for change until every UK employer has implemented an effective domestic abuse response. They remind us of the real lives and real stories behind statistics, and of the need to treat every case as unique. They demonstrate that change is not only possible, but happening every day. And they illustrate just how crucial it is to centre survivor voices in the work against domestic abuse to make it as robust as possible. Our Ambassadors contributed to this audio for our 2024 flagship Conference with support from our Volunteer, Maha Khan Phillips. They speak of what it is like to experience domestic abuse and the challenges they’ve faced, but also of the help they received that allowed them to escape and rebuild their lives. We hope their voices will inspire you and your organisation to take action and create meaningful change. https://lnkd.in/eBaPKWW8 Charlotte Budd Sally Benatar QPM Sharon Livermore MBE Tunu Sokiri Shital V.

✨💫What an incredible privilege to have been part of a remarkable panel discussion about Diwali 🪔 and what it means to us, alongside industry leaders Vivek Syal & Vinay Mistry The conversation was a heartfelt exploration of the festival’s significance celebrating light, hope, and most of all community. Being transported back to childhood, the stories we shared truly resonated with everyone present. 👏🏽 A huge shoutout to Bal Mahil whose exceptional moderation skills brought out the best in each of us. Bal’s insightful questions and seamless flow made it a memorable session that left the audience inspired and engaged. The event was made even more vibrant with a lively Bhangra lesson that had us on our feet, adding energy and joy to the atmosphere. 💫Those looking to connect with tradition in a creative way, beautiful henna designs created by the wonderful Nadia Monnan were on offer, a delightful touch that many enjoyed. ❤️For me what made the evening truly special was our collective effort to support the Diwali Basket Brigade a wonderful initiative close to my heart that embodies the spirit of giving and helps fight against food poverty. 📌Through the event, we were able to further raise much needed funds to bring joy and light to families in need. It was a beautiful reminder of how, together, we can make a real difference. 📌Diwali is about community, giving back and hope, good triumphing over evil. 📌Life doesn’t get any easier, we get stronger. 📌We know time never stands still, use any pain in your past as fuel and let that passion drive you forward. 🙏Thank you Tokio Marine Group Appollo BMS Group iCAN: The Insurance Cultural Awareness Network for the opportunity. I loved it. 📌Keep following the light 💡 it’s what has got me through some really painful times. #Diwali2024 #CommunitySpirit #Leadership #DiwaliBasketBrigade #Helpingothers Elisabeth Ibeson Eesha Tomar

I founded a charity to help male survivors because there was so little help for people like me. I'm now the CEO of that charity and We Are Survivors is one of the largest in the UK!
Today, International Men's Day, Greater Manchester launches the UK's FIRST ever gender-based violence plan for men and boys! The plan sets out how Greater Manchester will tackle domestic abuse and sexual assault and harassment towards men and boys, raise awareness of support services and reporting mechanisms, and expand training for professionals. Data from Greater Manchester Police shows that one in five recorded offences of rape and sexual assault in the year ending June 2024 involved male victims. I am incredibly proud to have co-authored the strategy with Prof David Gadd, alongside the Mayor and Deputy Mayor of Greater Manchester, Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA), and partners and organisations across the city-region working to end gender-based violence, support victims, and work with perpetrators. In the absence of a coherent national strategy that tackles gender-based violence against men and boys, Greater Manchester is leading the way in launching our own plan, which addresses the full range of violence, abuse and exploitation in which men or boys are victims, and in which their gender, sexuality or intimate relationships are motivating or prevailing factors in their suffering. Victims of gender-based violence face numerous barriers to reporting and seeking support, including fear of disbelief, social ostracism, and lack of awareness about available help. For male victims, there are additional challenges such as societal expectations about masculinity, fear of homophobic reactions, and concerns about the consequences of disclosure. It is crucial to recognise the complex power dynamics in abusive relationships and prioritise support for all victims, addressing their specific needs. Developing comprehensive support for male victims is essential, if we are to truly tackle gender-based violence. In January 2020, Britain’s most prolific rapist Reynard Sinaga was sentenced to a minimum of 30 years for committing 136 rapes against 48 men, with GMP holding evidence that over a 30-month period, Sinaga raped over 200 men – the majority of whom identified as ‘straight’. The case shone a spotlight on the considerable barriers men face in reporting experiences of victimisation. Statistics show that in the year ending June 2024, Greater Manchester Police (GMP) recorded 9,904 offences of rape and sexual assault, of which 1,836 (one in five) related to male victims. In Greater Manchester, the average time taken by male victims to report a current sexual assault to police is four years and less than four percent of reports result in a charge. This is a really momentous day in tackling GBV and I hope that everyone involved is as proud as I am right now. I'm the proudest Mancunian ever today! #HeToo #EndSexualViolence #GBV #VAWG #DomesticAbuse
